Manual OCR

After running your scanned documents through OCR, your text is visually checked for errors, proofed, edited and spell-checked by us.

NOTE: As a rule of thumb, we do not correct typos found in the original documents, unless specifically requested by you. If a word or phrase is misspelled in the original, it will remain misspelled in the converted text.

If you wish, we will keep a running tab of suspect typos we encounter, and submit the list to you without making changes.

The reason for this policy is that sometimes what 'appears' to us to be misspellings may actually be archaic variations the author wishes to keep, or a form of professional / linguistic terminology we are not familiar with. In other cases, fidelity to the original - regardless of typos - may be a requirement.

We are flexible, however. If you'd like us to correct obvious typos and/or misspellings, just let us know.
